    D. Selling the units at $28 will generate the largest profit.

    Explanation:

    Explanation : Profit = [ (selling price per unit - variable cost per unit) * units ] - Fixed Cost

    Profit at $28 selling price = [ ($28 - $18) * 50,000 units ] - $275,000 = $225,000

    Profit at $23 selling price = [ ($23 - $18) * 100,000 units ] - ($275,000 + $100,000) = $125,000

    Profit at $25 selling price = [ ($25 - $18) * 75,000 units ] - ($275,000 + $100,000) = $150,000

    Thus we can see that profit is largest at $28 per unit selling price
